Decoding the Commitments of Traders Report (COT) to Identify Overcrowded Trades

Click here to listen to our ideas on using the COT in futures trading!

If a stock trader wants to know what corporate insiders are doing with their shares, they look to SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) filings for help. Corporate officers, directors, and beneficiary owners are required to report trades they have executed in shares of their company within two business days. Similarly, a commodity trader looks to the Commitments of Trader (COT) report for insight into who is buying and selling futures and options.

The COT report released by the CFTC is the optimal gauge of market sentiment because it doesn't just portray the opinions of the general public; it provides insight into traders that are actually putting their money where their mouths are! Join us to discover how this information might be helpful to market speculation.

Topics covered:

What is the COT?
When is the Commitments of Traders data collected and released?
Long vs. Short Format
Standard COT, or Futures and Options?
Understanding the relative nature of COT
Commitments of Traders categories: Commercials, Reportables, Non-Reportables

Commodities are hot, as Jim Rogers would say. Stagnant stocks and the massive bull rally in raw commodities have lured much of the attention away from Wall Street and toward down-town Chicago. It is difficult to turn on the television or open the newspaper without being reminded of the impact that commodity prices have on our daily lives.
